Inky-
Your mysterious Green Plastic Diving Guy is from the game Mouse Trap :slight_smile: He stands on one end of a board, which catapults (?) him into a tub, causing the mouse trap to fall.
Does anyone play the game, or do they just put together the machine and watch it work?

In my bag, there is a wallet with no money
An unbalanced checkbook
A hairbrush
Sunglasses
Various hair utensils (bands, scrunchies) which I have no use for anymore as I just had my hair cut off.
